The Protect Our Communities Foundation represents the interests of San Diego and other Southern California residential ratepayers in proceedings before the California Public Utilities Commission, other state and local agencies, in the courts, and in our communities.
We advocate for ratepayers AND the environment.
Using Technical and Legal Analysis to Fight For Ratepayers and Clean Energy
